"The entire Himachal Pradesh is astonished to hear this. Celebrations are meant for achievements, but in these two years of their government, Himachal Pradesh has gone back by 20 years. It is laughable that state ministers and the HP Congress chief claim to have no knowledge of any celebrations. Is only the Chief Minister in favour of celebrating, while the Congress party is not? There is no coordination between the government and the Congress party. Only the CM and his selected associates seem to be planning the celebrations," he said.
"In two years of their governance, Delhi's Himachal Bhawan has been attached by the court, and 18 properties of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC) are being closed. Such situations have never arisen before. Not one of the guarantees given by them has been fulfilled, yet they are hosting celebrations," Thakur added. (with Agency inputs)
